# Ingredients:

→ Grilled Goodness

01 - 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 4 cups broccoli florets

→ Lemon-Herb Infusion

03 - 3 tbsp olive oil
04 - 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
05 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
07 - 1 tbsp honey
08 - 1 tsp dried oregano
09 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
10 - 1 tsp salt
11 - 1/2 tsp black pepper

→ Bright Accents

12 - 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
13 - 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
14 - 4 lemon wedges, for serving

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp olive oil. This forms the flavorful base for your Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls for Dinner.
02 - Add 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate the chicken for these fantastic Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls for Dinner at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor.
03 - In a separate bowl, toss 4 cups broccoli florets with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (if using). This ensures the broccoli gets a nice char and flavor alongside the chicken.
04 - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. A well-preheated grill is key for perfectly cooked Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls for Dinner.
05 - Place the marinated chicken breasts on the hot grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F and grill marks appear. Remove chicken from grill and let rest on a cutting board.
06 - While the chicken rests, place the seasoned broccoli florets directly on the grill grates or in a grill basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
07 - Slice the rested chicken into strips or dice. Divide the grilled chicken and broccoli among 4 serving bowls. Garnish your delicious Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls for Dinner with 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley and serve with 4 lemon wedges.

# Notes:

01 - For even cooking and better grill marks, avoid overcrowding your grill. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary, or use a grill basket for the broccoli.
02 - Leftover Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or a skillet.
03 - Feel free to substitute chicken breasts with boneless, skinless chicken thighs or even firm fish like salmon. Other quick-grilling vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini also work well.
04 - To make this a more substantial meal, serve your bowls over a bed of quinoa, brown rice, or couscous.
